I think the white wheels make the blue paint super flat and dull. ---

I think that looks fucking awesome. WRB always looks weak in pictures, always looks better in person, but I still think it looks pretty good here. ---

WRX’s aren’t supposed to be flush and dumped… their supposed to have some wheel gap and semi-conservative wheel fitment. 240sx’s are supposed to be dumped and fucked out because they’re cheap, expendable, gorgeous (when done right) and because you’re not supposed to give a fuck. WRX owners are 90% pussies… like IT techs or geologists or something gay… their cars should reflect their OCD tendencies. As such, this car looks fine and BC coilovers are passable but not awesome. ---

i have to say that the offset is a bit weak even by subaru standards, but still functional… lol don’t put fucking spacers on it though :bloated: if you have flush fitment to look JDM-tite then you suck, if you have flush fitment because you squeezed 275+'s in there, then you are ok. edit: and bing is 100% right, pretty much all work in IT. just means we’re smart (and don’t crash our cars into walls) :gotme: ---

no spacers because what you need to do is get rid of the white wheels 🤮 and get some nice grey/gunmetal/bronze to replace… nice suspension, that’s pretty much what I had on my evo. ---

^ like i said before, i am NOT getting spacers. i was against them since day one. and on the drop i said dont quote me on it because i really didnt know the height i was taking a shot in the dark. but it was more than a 1/2" i can tell you that, a lot more.
